	I agree.  We are here to make life easier for people, and we 
should do whatever we can towards that goal.

	However, there are some things that are beyond our capabilities. 
Some features require a significant amount of additional effort on 
the part of the server, and while that is desirable and feasible for 
most mailing lists, there may well be some mailing lists where that's 
just not possible.  We have to acknowledge that issue.

	I know.  Big Mac is the third most powerful supercomputer cluster 
in the world, and cost much, much less than the two clusters that are 
more powerful than it is, and probably much less than any other 
cluster in the Top 100.

	But there are still limits, especially in the areas of certain 
types of common technology, such as disk drives.
